Axe Cop for President!

Another hilarious Axe Cop animated short to remind us that the series will debut on July 27! Rejoice and enjoy!

Nick Offerman is the perfect Axe Cop. Best. Casting. Ever. I still can’t believe that Axe Cop is really going to be a cartoon. It seems impossible that the universe would be this giving. But we shall see in July! And if you haven’t yet, check out the Axe Cop comic to see what all the fuss is about.

A few pressing questions about the Power Rangers, explained

Power Rangers RPM is the newest rendition of the franchise, now in its 20th year, and I haven’t been keeping up.  In a recent episode, however, some interesting questions were explained.  Why do the Zords have eyes?  Why is there sometimes a six-story high explosion behind the characters when they morph?  All shall be revealed.

Thunder and Lightning and Amethyst!

The DC Nation animation block is back, and with it come the adorable mini short cartoons. One of them is a cartoon about Thunder and Lightning, the children of superhero Black Lightning. It’s pretty neat…but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a good copy. Still, it’s a lazy Sunday, and I wanted to share it with you guys, so here’s a crummy copy that somebody filmed on their TV! You can thank me later.

Or thank me never. Your choice.

In better news, the clip for Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld is even better! I love the video game aspects of this cartoon. Fun way to portray Gemworld.

You can definitely thank me for that one.

 

My Wibbly-Wobbly, Spooky Doctor Who Theory

Each of the Doctor's past several companions resembles a story book character.

Each of the Doctor’s past several companions resembles a story book character.

If you’re a fan of Doctor Who, chances are that you’ve heard about this theory.  And for the most part, I agree with it.  It really does make a lot of sense.  Every one of the Doctor’s last four companions has had some resemblance or allusion to a storybook character:  Rose as Red Riding Hood, Martha as Dorothy, Donna as Alice and Amy Pond (and Rory) as two of the children from Peter Pan.

This week’s Christmas episode introduced a new companion for the Doctor:  Oswin Read the rest of this entry

A Merry Whovian Christmas to You All

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas this year. The Mills family had another exceptional Christmas Blast. We tend to go big on Christmas, at least in terms of getting the whole family together, exchanging gifts for everybody and having a frollicking good time. I have to work today, so I didn’t get to stay home with my folks Christmas night, instead driving back to my apartment to sleep. But that was cool too, because I watched the annual Doctor Who Christmas special with my girlfriend!

I know I’ve got some Whovians reading my blog. What did everybody think of ‘The Snowmen’? I thought it was quite awesome. Seeing the Doctor all depressed and mopey was fun, especially the gradual coming out of his shell. I also loved his Victorian Era costume. New companion Clara seems to be quite fun and very quirky, which always makes for a good companion. Though she does seem to have some mystery about her. The villains weren’t all that troublesome or memorable (although one review I read mentioned that the Great Intelligence was a Doctor Who villain decades ago, and that they might be reviving them for the 50th anniversary. That would be neat!) I really loved the guest appearances by Vastra, Jenny and Strax. They would be awesome as reoccurring characters.

So yeah, Christmas fun all around! The List of Six is going to be a little late this week. But don’t worry, I’ll get around to it. And otherwise, I just wanted to share with everyone this preview of the second half of Doctor Who Season 7.

Don’t watch if you haven’t yet watched the Christmas Special!

Looks like fun!
